Hello, Im building a new PC and I have a cooler master 110, with an HD audio connector, and an AC'97 connector, but only one port on the mobo, is there another place to plug the other in that im missing, or does the HD audio replace AC'97?

 

thanks again!

HD Audio is the only header used nowadays.

AC97 is intended to be replaced by HD Audio. You should see a connector on the motherboard listed as HD_AUD101 or something along those lines.

 

Hook up your HD Audio cable there.
